Oliver, thank you once again from for your help! as far as a significant event:
the Moros of Mindanao were not really into commemorating a particular event or occurrence, and if they did, it did not carry over when they got assimilated with the rest of the archipelago.
good point as well, in regards to this particular piece being from a different culture (i.e., Malay).
i can't think of any other reason on why the date would be there. perhaps someone can chime in?
kino,
the only progress i've so far is having a couple asang-asang added to it by Jose. can't find the time to wrap the handle up. maybe this fall?
here are some pics...
